Speaking of nerds, I had some people defending her beauty in a thread recently but Felicia Day strikes me as a girl just cute enough to find appealing but not so hot that WoW nerds can’t convince themselves that they’d have a shot with her.
Jason Schwartzman seems to be popular with a certain crowd.
I think he’s a slimey, greasy, sneaky weirdo who creeps me the hell out.
Agreed. I can see how she would have been attractive when she was younger, (though I haven’t seen pictures from her youth) but she strikes me as decidedly “meh” now.
Jolie has lost a lot in the looks department, but when she was young, about the time she appeared in that movie about Hackers, she was SMOKIN’ HOT!
Thank you for the link. i needed the laugh. I am sure she is a fine human being, but damn, she ugly.
She’s still a very attractive woman. Stack her against women her age and even quite a few that are younger and she’s still a very attractive woman. I don’t know how she can strike anyone as “meh” but they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Two things:
People are chosen for roles, etc. because they’re striking, not necessarily good-looking. Striking features like huge eyebrows or lips or distinctive eyes tend to look better on camera than your average person’s sort of washed-out features. That’s why, in my experience, celebrities tend to be sort of weird-looking in real life and not very attractive.
Secondly, celebrities are hyped as being hot, whether or not they are, because the average credulous moron who cares about such things can easily be told what to think, i.e. who’s hot. Cha-ching.
Ooh right - no, she’s not hot, but she is cute. That’s how I find Hannigan, too.
And those other nerd staples, Jewel Staite and Summer Glau - Pop quiz, who was the HOT woman in the regular Firefly cast? There is only one correct answer.
Brad Pitt. I’m a straight woman and my only guess is that gay men made him “hot”, not women.
From People’s “Sexiest Man Alive”:
Justin Theroux–Justno.
Chris Evans. BOOORING.
Tim McGraw–What? Why? How?
Joel McHale–Imagine waking up next to that. Blech.
Ryan Gosling looks like a gosling.
Alec Baldwin–Is this a joke?
Dylan McDermott–Back me up here, ladies. Your husband is probably hotter. My ex-husband was a jerk and even HE was hotter.
None of these guys is hot and moreover, they are actors. You know who was hot?
Are you guys talking about Brad Pitt now or when he actually was hyped as a sex icon? He looks far more attractive when he was younger. Now he’s pretty average looking, so says this straight male.
Morena Baccarin.
I will fight you to the death for this. I’d step over my dying mother for Drew.
My contribution is Paris Hilton. As Bill Maher said, her head’s too big and she only has one facial expression.
No, I’m afraid not. The correct answer is Gina Torres. Baccarin was sold as the hot one, and she’s definitely beautiful, but I know who I’d rather be in my bunk with.
ETA: Heh, I thought you were going to say Kaylee. I really do agree, though. Gina Torres is stunning.
Hugh Jackman is a good one… he was on Anderson Cooper the other day (don’t judge me, that’s what’s on when I’m at the gym!) and he is just plain weird looking, like there’s something disproportionate about his face and body.
That said, I think being done up as Wolverine somehow makes him 10x more appealing.
@CIB, no, I have felt this way since the beginning. I was like, what the hell is up with this Brad Pitt thing? “He’s no Brad Pitt,” people would say and I would think, “No, thank god.” BP may be a great person and obviously AJ thinks he’s hot but I think he looks like a monkey.
I’m laughing so hard right now because his mouth is so indescribably creepy, I’ve never been able to describe it quite so well. I always get the impression he’s about to yodel or swallow an ice pick.
Jennifer Aniston.
I’ve heard guys describe her as being nothing short of a goddess, and I can’t see it at all. She’s just so boring-looking.
As far as dudes go, Colin Farrell. Again with the boring looks. If I were to pass him on the street I wouldn’t give him a second glance. Or a first glance, for that matter.
Musta had charm coming out of every pore.
I have nothing particular against Sarah Jessica Parker, other than her apparently founding a TV/cinematic tradition of unhot skinny blonde women.
You have got to be joking! Gina Torres isn’t even remotely hot. Whereas Jewel Staite defines hotty hot hot.
